    It all started when three girls: Hikaru, Umi, Fuu were chosen to be the Legendary Magic Knight Rayearth and their mission is to save Princess Emeraude and defeat Zagato......... hide show

    I really like the show and it's the best just like other shows i like; Tsubasa Chronicles and Cardcaptor Sakura. It tells about three girls who became friends and has differnt personalities. It's the best show and i Somehow that it is hard for the animators to work hard on it and gives inspiration to others who would like to be animators. I hope the writers get on their work and it gives them ability to make some tv shows. But i know it's hard to think especially when there are actors and actresses making the voices of the anime Characters. I wish them luck on their new shows...

    Three girls, Umi, Hikaru, and Fuu get swept away to another world by magic. They become the Magic Knights. hide show

    I really like Rayearth magic Knights, but I have only seen the first season. If anyone knows where I could find the second season, I would appreciate it. This show has the originality alot of animes and manga\'s don\'t. It is exciting, and makes me want to watch more and more. I only wish I could see the rest of the show so I could make a better review. Umi, is my favorite, though I do not know why. Hikaru is the usual crowd favorite for her spunky tomboy energy. But in my eyes, she is second to Umi. Fuu is defiantly last. She has an amazing guy, and she doesnt do any thing to go for him!

    This Magic Knight Rayearth episode was quite good- not the best- but was quite sad. tyhe chrtacters, are involved in a horrific car accident, and everybody scrapes through with various injuries, and she is in a very bad condition. hide show

    This Magic Knight Rayearth episode was quite good- not the best- but was quite sad. tyhe chrtacters, are involved in a horrific car accident, and everybody scrapes through with various injuries, and she is in a very bad condition. She is hardly breathing, but they drag her out of the car and give her CPR. She is taken in an ambulance, and is close to death at the hospital, where he manages to save her.

    Magic Kinght Rayearh is an old anime but it has its charm. hide show

    Magic Knight Rayearh is an anime series by CLAMP. Of course it's old but it's kinda epic in a way.
    The story is good. Three high school girls named Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu are summoned to another planet by a princess. The only way for their way home is to stop an evil priest named Zagato, who commands an army of beasts. Now these girls are on a quest to save the planet and fight beasts. It can be a little entertaining watching these girls fight, but sometimes it can be annoying when they scream very high, and not very often, they add in a little comedy in fight scenes so it can be out of place, but the voice acting is good and it's done great. Speaking of fight scenes, Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu can either use magic or weapons. These epic battles are action packed and a little stylish. There are other characters besides the princess, the three girls, and the evil priest. There's clef, Ascot, Lantis, Lady Aska, and more. The character models are great and so is the backround. The special effects are superb, but I can't say they're all jaw-dropping.
    Magic Knight Rayearth is a good show even if it was aired in 1994. There are some spots to hate about Magic Knight Rayearth, but it doesn't make it really bad exactly.
